I know I should have waited for Day 22 to complete but this was only 30 seconds away and I know someone who likes these number patterns @C_8. :grinning:
No issues with not smoking or not drinking today, feeling mighty fine, strong even. Can we be over confident in early sobriety? All I know right now is I’ve got a flask of coffee and I’m taking these dogs out for an hour or 2 walking.
Best wishes to you all. :raising_hand_man:t3:

Yes, I hung around for this one, like watching and waiting for a kettle to boil :roll_eyes:

My husband wants me to capture and post 121.21.
Problem is I’m not great at math. We’ll see :sweat_smile:

Day 570. Holiday for me today.

Woke from a relapse dream this morning. In it I was so sure it wasn’t a dream, didn’t care, and felt like utter garbage inside and out.

Guess I’m grateful for it. I’ve got no actual interest in a drink and this was a clear reminder why. No frickin thanks! :v:

Checking in on Day 209. FINALLLLLLY made it back to the gym, after being down for the count since 2/4. Felt good. PRd my incline bench, which was a nice welcome back. Final band practice tonight, before Friday’s reunion show. Short week, as I took Friday off. Ready to get after it.

Have a strong day!!!

0.21 (day) x 24 (hours/day) = 5.04 hours (after whenever your day ticks over)
0.04 (hours) x 60 (minutes/hour) = 2.4 minutes
5 hours and a bit over 2 minutes. If your sober timer starts at midnight, that’s 5:02 AM :slightly_smiling_face:

@Hopeful777
Good luck at the gym. Hopefully it is an easier recovery this time. :grinning:

Day 470, part 1. Woke up in an awful mood, got better, and now am feeling unsure again. It is not unusual for my mood to swing this way. Today I’m hoping to have my emotions without becoming them. They have a tendency to become my lens through which I view the world at the time, with priorities and beliefs that conflict with my root priorities and beliefs. Mindfulness is a technique that helps me accomplish this, and I will be making use of that today, along with other things from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) that I have been discussing with my therapist. Thanks to all for your encouragement. I will let you know how I did with this when I check in at the end of today.
